"Feeding my kids is so fucking exhausting. My son would eat either pizza or buttered noodles OR just fruit for every single meal"

— Reddit r/toddlers

"How much do you think diet plays into a child's behavior? I see a lot of parents feed their kids a bland, sugary, heavily carb-based diet. Things like white flour that provide lower nutritional value."

— Reddit r/moderatelygranolamoms

"I understand why some parents just feed their kids Dino nuggets and cereal - it's waaaaay easier to give them something they'll eat and not have to fight that battle."
